June 20 is national Take Your Dog to Work Day in the United States, and thousands of dog owners will make the most of this opportunity on Friday.

A survey conducted by The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association in 2006 revealed that taking pets to work can lower stress, increase productivity, create a more co-operative working environment, increase the amount of overtime worked and reduce employee absenteeism - no wonder 17% of employers already allow their employees to bring their pets to work with them on a regular basis!

Here's a fun quiz I found on the Discovery Channel blog.

Anna M. Taylor of the University of Sussex recorded 7 dog barks for her Vocal Dog Project and you need to identify which bark belongs to which situation.

Can you tell the difference between a disturbed Rottweiler growl-barking and a 4-month-old Labrador puppy crying? Take the quiz to find out!

Funny Dog Pictures

Each Wednesday at OurDogLog Chris has a Wordless Wednesday where she just posts a funny dog picture which, excuse the cliché, really could say a thousand words.

I've been following Wordless Wednesday for a few weeks now, and one of my favorites "Gimme My Ball Back" is posted above.

Check out this week's Wordless Wednesday - it brings a whole new meaning to term "prewash cycle"! And take a look at "A Little Power Nap" - it's hysterical.

Priceless photos Chris - you'll have to start a separate category for them on your blog so we can keep track of them all!
